History
Care Bears on Fire formed in 2005 when Sophie, Lucio and Izzy were in 5th grade. They went through a variety of names before settling on the name Care Bears on Fire "because they liked the idea of mixing something sweet with something edgy".[3][4]
The band got their break when New York Magazine did a profile on the three in the summer of 2006.[2] After this article was published, Care Bears on Fire shot into the limelight with sources such as Spin Magazine calling Care Bears "...key players in the burgeoning New York kid-core scene..." They released their first EP, Confuse Me on Beautiful Records at a show in 2006.[5]
I Stole Your Animal era
The band formally released their debut LP album, I Stole Your Animal on 2 October 2007. The album received positive reviews from critics, with publications such as Detour stating that "The songs are catchy, with an earnest rhythm section backing up the same big guitar chords the grownup garage-punk bands use," [6] and Anna Creech in Blogcritics Magazine praising the album as "a must-have for modern rock fans."[7]
Sophie is featured on a 2007 Converse ad, playing an acoustic version of their song, "Everybody Else".[8]
Get Over It!
Care Bears on Fire released their second full-length album Get Over It!, on S-Curve Records July 14, 2009.
